In a shocking incident during their charter vacation in Spain, a Danish core family accidentally runs over an immigrant, triggering profound emotional responses and underlying tensions within the family. The narrative focuses on the characters Louise and Mikkel, whose relationship has been fraught with silent conflicts that come to the forefront after the traumatic accident. This tragic event forces them to confront not only their personal dynamics but also larger societal issues regarding immigration and empathy.

Esben Smed's portrayal of Mikkel, a well-meaning gym teacher, captures the intense impact of the accident on his psyche, illustrating the internal struggle of a person trying to cope with the aftermath of a horrifying event. Meanwhile, Danica Curcic's performance as Louise portrays a woman filled with anxiety and apprehension, perhaps reflecting on how their relationship mirrors the potential mistakes of engaging with others who are different from them. The accident serves as a catalyst, pushing them to reevaluate their connection and the feelings that lie beneath the surface of their marriage.

The film effectively delves into the complexity of human interactions, particularly in the context of the immigrant experience in Denmark, and raises questions about identity, responsibility, and the fragility of societal norms. The portrayal of Louise and Mikkel’s relationship against the backdrop of the accident highlights how fear and misunderstanding can lead to isolation, reverberating through their actions and decisions subsequent to the incident. It offers a powerful commentary on the challenges faced in confrontations with the other, both personally and culturally.
